Defective SUV

We’ve all experienced car troubles at least a few times in our lives and generally its near impossible to get quality after-sales service no matter how reputable the carmaker is. Similarly, a man in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, who was marred by frequent breakdowns of his newly-bought SUV car, decided to register his protest in a unique manner, using donkeys to haul his Rs 17.50 lakh car to the showroom.

A video of the incident, that has gone viral on social media websites, shows two donkeys dragging the black Hyundai SUV through the streets of Udaipur to the beat of drums being played by drummers which the man had hired.

According to reports, the car owner put on this elaborate show to mark his protest against the mediocre after-sales support and regular breakdowns of his new SUV which he bought a mere 45 days ago at a premium price of Rs 17.50 lakh.

They said the man hired two donkeys and some people to drag the car to the showroom as a mark of protest.

A viral video of the incident shows the car tied to the donkeys by a rope as the beasts drag it towards the showroom while some people are seen pushing the vehicle amid drummers playing in the background.

The man’s nephew, Raj Kumar Gayari, a resident of Udaipur’s Sundarwas locality, said his uncle Shankarlal had recently bought a brand-new car from a showroom in Madri Industrial area for Rs 17.50 lakh.

However, the vehicle soon started experiencing regular breakdowns and repeated calls to the car dealers asking them to fix the issues, remained unanswered.

He said the issues persisted even after the car was brought for repairs, twice, to the authorized service centre.

Raj Kumar said that during a recent family trip they had to push the car to start it and when contacted, the service centre people told them that the issue was due to a depleted battery which required the car to be driven for a while in order to charge the battery.

Kumar said they did what the service guys asked but the issue persisted and finally decided to bring the car back to the dealership where the faulty vehicle currently rests with the car owner demanding a replacement.

Mohsin Naqvi faces fresh Asia Cup trophy drama as India skip ceremony, fans chant Trophy Chor

India won the Women’s Asia Cup for a record-extending eighth time but did not accept the trophy from ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi, while fans chanted “Trophy Chor” as he left the stadium.

Mohsin Naqvi

India’s Women’s Asia Cup triumph was followed by another controversy surrounding the tournament trophy after the team did not accept the silverware from Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs at the Dubai International Cricket Ground on Sunday to secure a record-extending eighth Women’s Asia Cup title. However, the Indian players did not come onto the field for the post-match presentation ceremony.

Fans chant “Trophy Chor” at Dubai stadium

The controversy intensified when fans at the stadium chanted “Trophy Chor” as Naqvi left the venue. The incident came a year after the Indian men’s team had also declined to receive the Asia Cup trophy and medals from Naqvi following their title win.

Unlike last year’s men’s Asia Cup episode, Naqvi left the stadium without taking the trophy with him. The trophy is currently with the ACC, according to the report.

India miss trophy presentation after Asia Cup win

India’s players also did not return to the ground after BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia presented Nandini Sharma with an in-house best fielder medal.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, completed its presentation formalities. The runners-up received their cheque from Naqvi, while the players and support staff accepted medals from Sri Lanka Cricket interim chief Eran Wikramaratne. Naqvi subsequently presented the award to Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu before leaving the stadium.

Asia Cup trophy row continues

The latest episode marks the second consecutive year in which India’s Asia Cup title celebration has been affected by a trophy presentation involving Naqvi.

The previous men’s Asia Cup incident occurred after India’s victory last year, when the team declined to receive the trophy and medals from Naqvi. This year’s women’s team has now followed a similar course after winning the title in Dubai.

The development comes amid strained India-Pakistan relations following last year’s Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. The two countries’ players have also followed a no-handshake protocol when meeting at ICC events, according to the report.

Customers who need to visit a branch for cash deposits, withdrawals, account-related work or other in-person services should check the holiday status of their particular branch before visiting.

What about banks in other cities?

Banks in cities that are not covered by the September 14 regional holiday are not automatically closed because of Ganesh Chaturthi.

ChatGPT 80s photo trend goes viral: Is it safe to upload your pictures?

The ChatGPT 80s photo trend has gone viral, with users transforming personal pictures into retro-style images. But before joining the trend, users should understand the privacy considerations around uploading photos to AI platforms.

ChatGPT 80s photo trend and photo privacy

The ChatGPT 80s photo trend has taken social media by storm, with users turning their photographs into images inspired by the look and style of the 1980s. While the trend offers an easy way to create nostalgic-looking pictures, it has also raised an important question: Is it safe to upload personal photos to an AI chatbot?

When users upload an image to ChatGPT, the photograph becomes part of their interaction with the service and is handled under OpenAI’s data policies.

Why is the ChatGPT 80s photo trend going viral?

The trend allows users to give their ordinary photographs a retro makeover using AI. The resulting images can recreate the visual appearance associated with the 1980s, making the trend particularly popular among people looking for nostalgic or creative portraits.

The process, however, requires users to upload their own photographs to an AI service. This makes privacy an important consideration alongside the entertainment value of the trend.

Is it safe to upload pictures to ChatGPT?

Users should understand that uploading a photograph to ChatGPT means sharing that image with the service as part of their interaction. OpenAI’s data policies govern how information submitted through the service is handled.

Therefore, users should think carefully before uploading photographs containing sensitive or private information simply to participate in a viral trend.

What should users consider before uploading a photo?

Before trying the ChatGPT 80s photo trend, users can consider whether the photograph contains information they would prefer not to share with an AI service.

It is also worth being cautious with photographs involving other people, particularly when the image contains children, private surroundings or other information that could reveal personal details.

The key point is that an AI-generated result does not change the fact that an original photograph had to be uploaded to create it.

ChatGPT 80s photo trend: FAQs

What is the ChatGPT 80s photo trend?

It is a viral AI image trend in which users upload photographs and use ChatGPT to create images with a retro 1980s-inspired appearance.

Does ChatGPT require a photo for this trend?

Yes. The trend involves uploading an existing photograph so that the AI can transform it into a new image.

Is it completely risk-free to upload personal photos?

Users should not assume that uploading a personal photograph is risk-free. Images submitted to ChatGPT are part of the interaction and are handled under the service’s applicable data policies.

What should I check before uploading a picture?

Users should consider whether the photograph contains private, sensitive or identifying information before uploading it to an AI service.

What happens when you upload a photo to ChatGPT?

A photo uploaded to ChatGPT becomes part of the user’s interaction with the service. How that information is handled is governed by OpenAI’s applicable data policies.

For users participating in viral AI image trends, understanding this distinction is important. The convenience of creating a retro-style image should be balanced against the privacy considerations involved in sharing an original photograph online.
